Lovely photos @Loxley Who knew that a borrowed brick wall could make a garden look even better. I like the way the eye is drawn down through your garden.
But @Latimer that's the fun.😀 I'm coming to the point of what more is there to do, which is quite sad, after five years of sorting. I'm terrible once planted I hate to move/remove plants , so am running out of room, something I never thought I'd say.😀

I'm quite the contrary. I move/remove plants whenever needed to make my "garden scenes" more pleasing to the eye. Some very recent examples this week:
As I was taking photos of my North border, noticed that my (half-)standard Rose 'Celina' was lacking something under it, the soil was almost bare. So I moved the 3 tiny specimens of Erica cinerea ‘Rosabella’ planted there last autumn to another border; went to the GC and purchased 3 nice specimens of Lavandula angustifolia Hidcote and planted them under the rose-tree.
When at the GC, my OH spotted a lovely specimen, a half-standard Loropetalum chinense 'Fede'. That was "a bit pricey" but it found its way to the car boot in no time. Back in the garden, I removed one recently planted specimen of Potentilla fruticosa 'Bellissima' (put it back in its container) to make room for the Loropetalum.
What next? Who knows...

I'm with you @bullfinch (though your pot display is superb!) - I see my garden as it is in my mind's eye, or how it will be then see it as it is when I come here and I am not quite ready to show the whole garden just yet. So, close ups for now. I love colour echoes and am pleased that what I planned is in fact coinciding with their flowering. This is allium atropurpureum with Lysimachia atropurpurea 'Beaujolais' and the Eupatorium purpuream getting a bit bigger.
